Why it was refused

  1. The proposed extension, due to its size, scale, massing, prominence and intrusive location forward of the property's building line, would represent an unacceptable form of development which would be incongruous, unsympathetic and detrimental to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the pattern of development in the street. Additionally, the proposed fenestration design and layout would be unsympathetic to the host dwelling, detrimentally impacting the appearance of the frontage. As such, the proposed works are contrary to Saved Policies GD1, EN1, EN8, HG10 and EN27 of the Wealden Local Plan (1998), Spatial Planning Objective SPO13 and Policy WCS14 of the Wealden District Core Strategy Local Plan 2013, Policies S3, S4, and DP3 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2026, and the guidance contained within Chapters 5 and 10 of the Wealden Design Guide 2008.

From the council's decision notice.
